APPLICATION IN SUPREME COURT.
At the Supreme Court yesterday, Mr EH. Sharp, K.C. (instructed by Mr. W. E. L. Shenton), appeared on behalf of the Canton Insurance Office, Ltd., in an application that the alteration of the Company's objects proposed to be effected by special resolutions set forth in the Petition might be confirmed.
Mr. Sharp said that the history of the Company his lordship would be already well acquainted with. It was incorporai- ed in 1881, and the accumulated capital was $2,000,000, which was divided into 10,000 shares. All the shares had been issued, and were paid up to the extent of $50 per share. In the course of the business the Company had accumulated a Reserve Fund of $3,600,000, besides its Dock,paid-up capital of $500,000 and in addi tion also 32,000,000 uncalled capital. The

and other expenses amounted, in round numbers, to £366,000, against £364,000 for 1814, showing af increase of £22,000, which is fully accounted for by the special payments to staff and other ex pens in connection with the war. In- cluded in this debit is this company's pro- portion of the further contributions made by the shareholders as on former ucca sions. (Cheers.}

Under these favourable conditions your directors consider the company justified in paying an extra 1 per cent. dividend, and therefore recommend the declaration of a final dividend of 21 per ent., with a bemus of 2 per cent., amounting together to £127,00, and making with the thre interim dividends a total distribution of
